I recieved my Sorcerer pin today and man this machine brings back some good memories i havent seen this pin in years!! I wonder why alot of people underrate this pin its a great machine and i am very proud to add it to my collection.The only problem i have now is i'm running out of room and my old lady is on my ass, dont you hate when this happens? now i'm thinking of selling my Black Hole and Hook just to make room and to shut her big mouth
 
SWEET!! I just got my Sorcerer today too. This one will be a prermanent fixture in my house. I've had 4 before...I think I've finally learned my lesson


You have any pics of yours?

btw i pmed you

No, This was a guy near New Orleans it was a listing in the classifieds.The one that was on ebay never had pics and wouldnt respond to emails
 
cough cough....signature...cough.

Yes, Sorcerer is a super fun pinball. It is one of those rare pins where newbies and vets can find enjoyment in every single ball played - long or short.
 
i found a sorcerer locally and i dont see the big deal over them. i posted mine on mrpinball and had a huge response to it when it was nonworking. i was hoping to trade it for just about anything. this was not a game i was looking for but extremely local and cheap. since then i have fixed it and it works fine......unless someone trades me something, its the last game im going to shop out

yes i still have it. it didnt work when i got it. but it showed up in the local NEWSPAPER classifed ads and my neighbor told me about it. i heard of a sorcerer before but i never saw or played one. they seem pretty common though and thatalot of people want them. me and a friend fixed mine and it works now but im not sureif its working right......it used to say "sorcerer" but now it doesnt. maybe im not hitting the right targets. other than that everything else works like normal. we had to fix a flipper fuse and since then i havent gotten it to say sorcerer like it used to. but all other sound works. i havent messed with it much. mine has like 2 or 3 broken plastics. i dont see why some many people like them. i think the backglass looks cool.
 
Its really a good pin and is considered one of williams best pins from the 80's but alot of people disagree and doesnt meet their taste.The backglass is awesome!!

Does it say sorcerer when you push the start button? it should say sorcerer when you push the start button and when you complete the sorcerer targets during game play
 
i have tried pressing all the targets down with the playfield glass off and it does not say sorcerer. it does not say it when i press start either......HOWEVER........when i got the game it used to say sorcerer and all targets woudl score like normal but the only thing that would work was all the flippers. so me and a friend were messing with it one saturday and we changed a fuse that half looked cloudy and burnt out and then the flippers work. we danced around and drank another beer after we thought we fixed one, haha BUT i noticed its not saying sorcerer anymore. my question is......would there happen to be a sound effects volume AND a speech volume? thats my guess maybe? ive been collecting pinballs for about 15 years now but only started repairing my own games in the last 2 years
thanks for the help!

There is a switch on the board you press to test speech. It will cycle through all of the speech phrases. Compare what you hear to the manual. If you are missing just one or two sounds, you can isolate it to one of the sound roms.

I had a royal pain with a Comet once that ended up being bad prom sockets.
